When I found Kale in the market I wanted to cook something traditional from my husband’s region (North part of Turkey). So, I have decided to cook a Kale stew. So, it turned out to be a little bit traditional and have a little bit my own inspiration 🙂 Enjoy!

Chop the onion, garlic and green peppers in small pieces. Remove the stem of kale from the leaves and chop the stems in small pieces, as well. Add all the chopped ingredients to a pot with olive oil. Cook at medium heat till the stems are tender and onions are caramelized.

In meanwhile, chop the leaves of kale. Once the stems are tender add tomate and paprika paste and corn flour to the pot. Cook for about 2-3 minutes at low heat till you smell the corn flour. After that, add chopped kale leaves with a cup of water to the pot. Cook at medium heat for about 15-20 minutes. Once the kale leaves are cooked, add the cooked chickpeas and dried peppers to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes.

Serve the kale stew with corn bread. They are very delicious together 🙂 The recipe for the corn bread will be on my blog very soon 🙂 Enjoy 🙂
